About Lisa

Dr. Lisa Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of clinical experience based in Georgia. She focuses on issues that often touch family life and parenting, as well as relationship struggles, grief, depression, anxiety, and stress.

Lisa uses practical, down-to-earth language in session so parents can follow along even on a busy day. She prefers a warm, nonjudgmental style. Sessions emphasize listening, clear feedback, and small steps that feel doable.

Background and approach

Lisa encourages people to try new ways of managing stress, communication, and day-to-day parenting challenges. Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - which helps clients focus on values and flexible action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which looks at how thoughts shape feelings and behavior, and Client-Centered Therapy - which centers the conversation on the client's perspective.

She also integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when they fit a person's goals. Over the years she has worked with a wide variety of concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, and issues around adoption and foster care.

Her work also covers blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and aging and geriatric issues. Lisa aims to make therapy practical for everyday life. Meetings focus on skills you can try between sessions, clearer communication habits, and steps to manage emotions so families can function better together.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns; it is helpful for depression, anxiety, and habit change. Client-Centered Therapy makes the person the expert on their own life and emphasizes listening and acceptance to build trust and insight.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and daily life, then adapt methods together. Sessions are collaborative so techniques are chosen that make sense for the client's situation and comfort level.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow more flexibility around busy family schedules and work commitments. These options make it easier to fit short check-ins or full sessions into a week without long travel. Many people find the range of contact styles helpful for practicing skills between meetings and staying connected when life gets hectic.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
